391: Chapter 391: Standing Tall at the Purple Garden Pavilion 391: Chapter 391: Standing Tall at the Purple Garden Pavilion After their walk, Lin Fei told Yu Wenjie that Mu Shanshan needed to get back early, so Yu Wenjie drove him home.
They arrived at the Rongjing Garden villa before ten o’clock.
After bidding farewell, Yu Wenjie drove off.
Dressed in a white nightgown, Mu Shanshan was sitting on the sofa eating fruit.
When she saw Lin Fei, who had changed his attire and was carrying bags of various sizes, she laughed and said,
“It looks like you’ve gained quite a bit.”
After eating, Lin Fei recounted to Mu Shanshan the details of his evening.
“Why do you tell me all this in such detail?
It’s your business with Yu Wenjie, not mine.”
“It’s because I was worried that my wife might get jealous.”
Lin Fei took out his phone, pulled up the text message Mu Shanshan had sent him in the afternoon, and held it in front of her.
“Look at this, my dear wife’s letter of thanks.
Tell me the truth, are you in love with me but can’t say it because of pride, so you sent this text as a hint?”
Lin Fei spoke with animated eyebrows, yet his words left Mu Shanshan momentarily speechless.
After a while, she managed to say,
“I was being objective.
If it weren’t for your influence, Yu Wenjie wouldn’t have agreed to attend tomorrow’s press conference or change the contract that basically doomed our company.”
Hearing this, Lin Fei became serious.
He knew that the fortunes of the Hyatt Hotel were important to Mu Shanshan, and he couldn’t help but share her worries and joys.
“How did the contract turn out in the end?”
Mu Shanshan looked at Lin Fei with an inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
“The revised contract is exceedingly favorable to our company and even promises to grant us a loan at a very low-interest rate.”
“That’s great news; it means our company will have better development opportunities.”
Lin Fei was delighted upon hearing this, but noticed Mu Shanshan didn’t seem happy, so he asked curiously,
“But why do you seem unhappy about it?”
“It’s because the contract is too good for us that I’m a bit worried.
I have a feeling that Yu Wenjie’s real intentions might be elsewhere.”
If her real intentions are elsewhere, Lin Fei thought, they must be with me.
However, based on today’s interaction, Lin Fei didn’t think Yu Wenjie was the kind of person to undermine things secretly, so he reassured Mu Shanshan.
Let the legal department carefully review the contract for any loopholes.
If there are none, just sign it.
As long as there’s nothing wrong with the contract, there’s nothing to fear.”
Mu Shanshan nodded, then said distantly, “What I’m actually worried about is you.”
After hearing this, Lin Fei sounded surprised.
Mu Shanshan’s beautiful eyes widened as if realizing she’d misspoken and quickly corrected herself,
“What I mean is, you should keep your distance from Yu Wenjie.
She’s a very shrewd person, and I’m afraid she might exploit you as a weak spot to harm the company.”
Lin Fei didn’t dwell on it.
He leaned back on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling and the luxurious chandelier, and said somewhat helplessly,
“If she wants to find me, I’m afraid I can’t avoid it.
With the huge favor she did for our company today, I can’t refuse her requests, at least not in the short term.”
“That’s unacceptable.
I have a bad feeling she’s up to something.
If it comes to it, I simply won’t sign the contract.”
“Don’t worry, wifey, trust that your husband can handle a mere Yu Wenjie.”
Lin Fei spoke tenderly, “Besides, if we don’t sign the contract, what will we do about tomorrow’s press conference?
We can’t tarnish the reputation of the Hyatt Hotel; you and your uncle would have an even harder time competing with Mu Shaopeng and his father.”
“Alright then, let’s get past the immediate crisis.
Later on, I will find an opportunity to talk to her and make her let you go.”
Seeing Mu Shanshan agree, Lin Fei chuckled, “What, worried your husband might get stolen away?
Wife, if you care that much, just say it out loud.
Your husband won’t laugh at you.”
“Like I said, I’m afraid Yu Wenjie will exploit you as a weak spot to harm our company.”
Having said that, Mu Shanshan left Lin Fei and went to her room to rest.
As soon as Mu Shanshan arrived at the office, she began preparing for the ten o’clock press conference.
Yu Wenjie had arrived early and was currently in the office discussing the details of the event with Mu Shanshan.
As usual, Lin Fei went to the duty room to assign the day’s work.
Upon seeing Lin Fei, Li Yang walked over with an indignant expression.
